Why do some Americans blame all their problems on illegal immigration?

Question

I bet if they could they'd round up all the Mexicans even the legal ones and while their at it they take the muslims and blacks too.

cmon guys it's just 4% of the Population.

Answer 1

Yeah Illegal Immigrants (Mexicans) were living in Georgia (ghost town there) and they were making that city lively to live... and
they were building houses, set up stores and things... until
the Government had to deport them.

Some Americans are so mean.

I think it is because 4% Illegal Immigrants didn't pay taxes.
If they pay taxes just like everybody else, then they can live here.

I guess that is when they get in trouble when they demanded
food stamp and welfare and stuff. Can't get those stuff without
paying taxes.

Answer 2

I'm sorry, did you say 4% of the population? You're WRONG. Mexicans, Hondurans, Puerto Ricans, Salvadorians, and Ecuadorians make up for about.. Hhm.. Let's see.. 90% of the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.

Blacks? Muslims (Keep in mind that 'MUSLIM' is a religion.. So I assume you mean MIDDLE EASTERN or ARABIC)? Asians? Sure - WE KNOW there are people of many nationalities who come here illegally, but because Mexican just so happens to be connected to us, it makes an illegal alien invasion MUCH MORE SIMPLE.

How about you take the load of paying for their expenses off of our backs, let them into YOUR house.

Get real.

Answer 3

Most Americans would frown upon rounding any group of people up. Do you know that educated Mexicans with skills fill out. reems of paperwork and wait years to immigrate legally?
Do you know that if illegal immigrants were given legal status they would be fired because their employers could not afford to pay taxes on them , provide a living wage or provide benefits. What would we do then? How would we offset the drain on the resources of local communities and border states.

I dare you to state you question in your local supermarket and express your opinion that a nation of immigrants is racist and believes as you are assuming we do.

Answer 4

Only the problems caused by illegal immigration like violent crime, having to pay more for social programs, and a general attitude that a lot of the illegals do not feel they have to obey American laws. Actually, if I could pay you in peso's it would not be a bad deal for me to hire an illegal Mexican, Asian, or European (yes there are a lot of them too). Fact is, an illegal in Mexico goes to jail so why can't we make it equitable, and have the same laws nexico does for illegal immigration?

Answer 5

generally, specific, I blame the government for no longer implementing the immigration rules and letting issues slide for see you later. Now, the government has the prospect to attempt to rectify the incorrect that they have executed in this section for see you later by utilising cracking down on employers who employ illegals and deporting the illegals who're placed and securing the border and that that they had extra appropriate pay better than lip provider to this concern NOW or they're going to discover themselves out of a job come November!

Answer 6

All products that we use are Made in China.......if they are made in USA .....we will have work ....govt will earn a lot of taxes.....instead of promoting outsourcing we should liberalize Immigration laws and become more independent. America has great potential and statistics says that productive workforce of America is decreasing because of the aging Baby boomers.

America will need a lot of immigrant workers and if we don't get competitive enough will loose this workforce to China , which is also facing the same problem. Hope our politicians start thinking out of the box.....

Answer 7

Whoa hold on there, pal. Americans do not blame ALL their problems on illegal immigration? The fact is, while they perform jobs many others wouldn't do and they work cheap or strawberries would cost twice what they do now. They also get services they do not pay for and that is what the citizens are complaining about. Maybe if we can come up with a way for the immigrants to pay their own way or their employers could kick in a bit of money for services etc that are otherwise paid by the rest of us there would be less of a tendancy to blame them for what is wrong.

Answer 8

Illegal immigrants can also be considered "PAWNS" for Corporate America, Foreign Government Agendas and labor organizations. They still are here illegally and have commited "Certified acts of Terrorism" . Don't worry however those listed above won't go unpunished. In fact i'm willing to bet they pay one hell of a price. Its going to be tough for a while, but we can't just allow them to get away with it.

Answer 9

They are not blaming all their problems on illegals, they are just sick and tired illegals entering the country without permission and receiving benefits that our tax dollars are paying for. We don't want to round up anyone that has a right to be here (legal immigrants/citizens), regardless of their race or religion. 4% is too much, and if we don't crack down on these criminals, that number will only grow.

Answer 10

Let's clarify. Reasonable Americans don't blame "all their problems" on illegal immigration. There are specific problems caused by illegals such as consuming a disproportionate share of public resources and committing a disproportionate share of violent crime and identity theft. Yes, that "four percent" of the population is committing over 20% of violent crime. At this point, I'd be happy if we'd just send back the ones that have been convicted of committing a crime.

Answer 11

That's how criminals usually talk.
I'll give you an example: "come on I only took one diamond(from the jewelry store)", "Come on I only killed one person and there's so many people out there"
There's no excuse for any crimes no matter how small.

PS: Immigrating to this country illegally is worse than stealing(just saying).
